Blaine Brownell’s design/research project entitled “Infratecture” was featured in Lars Lerup’s Everything Must Move: 15 Years at Rice School of Architecture 1994-2009, edited by Luke Bulman and Jessica Young. The book was co-authored by Albert Pope, Sanford Kwinter, Stephen Fox, and Peter Cook.
Everything Must Move is a book documenting over a decade of propositions about the suburban city in general, and Houston in particular. This city—shapeless, polluted, traffic-clogged, water-logged, limitless—has been a workshop for testing ideas about operating in impossible situations. Everything Must Move is, in many ways, an archival project, however through the infusion of this archival material with new perspectives and projections the project remains poly-vocal, diverse, and open.
New material presented mainly in the form of short essays, written in response to the projects, photographs, and research forms the backbone of the project that the Rice School of Architecture, under the direction of dean Lars Lerup, has undertaken in the last 15 years.
